Possibly some better attention to detail going around. I would attribute it to Kreuger if thats the case as he would demand positivity in players.

Eager is a bad guy to have in the locker room. Mike Brown clearly isn't. One guy is a self destructive distraction, the other seemingly has a much more professional attitude around his role.

I guess for me anyway the Brown addition makes a little more sense now.

Also I could see conflict between the two. Eager would know Brown is taking his job. Pretty sure thats how Eager viewed the addition.
People might recall me wondering about it last week. Seeing the two of them out on the ice last week was weird. I sensed some bad blood. I stated that and asked if anybody knew if theres any history. My sense is something might have happened, been stated, or that it was likely to.

Good cleanup though.

They knew each other from a summer session during the lockout.. Seemed pretty positive about the guy. I don't think it's anything more than redundancy in the lineup.
